President Donald Trump was sued on Friday by preservationists asking a federal court to halt his White House ballroom project until it goes through multiple independent reviews and wins approval from Congress.

The National Trust for Historic Preservation is asking the U.S. District Court to block Trump's White House ballroom project, which already has involved razing the East Wing, until it goes through comprehensive design reviews, environmental assessments, public comments and congressional debate and ratification.

Pure TDS.

I think this is a separation of powers thing. Congress has no role here.

I’m glad President Trump tore down the crumbling East Wing before libs with TDS had time to get a lib judge with TDS to enter a temporary restraining order.

Nice to get the stench of Bammy and his wookie and Bidet out of it. Maybe the residence next?

[Steven Tyler]

This is why we cannot have nice things

[Vaduz]

Yes and the retched stench of the democrats lingers.

The only thing they are good for is chum for the sharks.

[Sarah Barracuda]

[Robe]

POTUS is exempt from the review process they are asking for.

[FlyingEagle]

What did Truman do in 1948 when he gutted the original, historic mansion and lived elsewhere for three years?

[Republican Wildcat]

Nutcases - all of them.

It’s ‘historic preservation’ to maintain having dignitaries having to dine under tents and use the restroom in port-a-potties.

[butlerweave]

There’s WAAAAAAAAAAAY TOOOOOOOOOO much suing

[subterfuge]

This is the perfect issue for Trump to ignore a judge. Its another 80/20 approval democrats will have to take the losing side.
